It doesn't really matter in which order you solve the puzzles in this age...
... the first three puzzles (the only ones you have access to at this point), that is.
If you really need a good starting point, I suggest going straight ahead (i.e. south, or towards the storm) from the starting point.
I've gone ahead past the "easy" linking book back to J'nanin. What now?
I went down the ladder on the North side of the starting landing.
